Top of the Pops, 18th October 2018

It's always impressive when a collaboration between more than about three artistes gets them all to turn out on the TOTP stage. This week we have two examples - from Jason Derulo, David Guetta, Nicki Minaj and Willy William, and Fredo, Young T and Bugsey - so A+ for effort to them. Fredo actually manages two appearances on his TOTP debut, including the number 1 single alongside Dave.

We're also strong in the singing department, thanks to Rita Ora, Becky Hill and Halsey, and the serious star power comes from Eminem, who's been on a few times lately.

All hail Post Malone, and indeed 21 Savage, as they take the final step to settle in the number 1 spot. Also breaking new ground are Chris and Kem and Mabel (with Kojo Funds) all making their TOTP debuts.

Ed Sheeran is back after a little while away with a two-song medley, but as touching as Perfect is, the show's real moment is the classic Tom Petty performance, shown in remembrance of the great man.

Debuts: Chris and Kem, Mabel, Kojo Funds.

Top of the Pops, 14th September 2017

Double Taylor this week: a second week at number one and a second track in the top ten means a second peformance for the TOTP fans. Swift heads up a strong transatlantic contingent including Justin Bieber and a returning Maroon 5 and Chris Brown (boooo), while the UK has Charli XCX and Yungen. Plus the pan-European duo of J Balvin and Willy William with this week's dose of reggaeton.

In a mild coincidence, there are appearances this week for both Kelli-Leigh and Jax Jones, who previously collaborated on the summer house classic I Got U. Funnily enough their co-credit on that track (well, Kelli wasn't credited, but whatever), Duke Dumont, also has a song further down the chart - perhaps he'll make the cut next week.

After quite a sludgy summer we're seeing a lot of chart movement just now, with big tunes from P!nk and Kesha also making their presence felt. The biggest news is of course Dua Lipa making a startling leap up to number 1 from four places below. Her fellow British-Kosovan Rita Ora is also on the show with a resurgent Your Song.

Debuts: James Hype, Kelli Leigh (credited), Kesha!

Top of the Pops, 10th August 2017

There's a very international flavour to TOTP this week. The Latin thing is catching fire now with not only Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee approaching the elite with their number 1 run (we show the video on this occasion), but also the swivel-hipped duo of Enrique Iglesias and Matt Terry, and J Balvin and Willy William storming the chart as well. And there's Scandi singer ALMA representing Northern Europe. (It's nice to see a few debuts here, after over a month without any.)

A couple of exclusives: it's Demi Lovato's turn to add some (extra) fun to the Ed Sheeran track that won't die, and Matt Terry and Charli XCX gamely fill in for Pharrell and Katy on Feels by Calvin Harris.

Debuts: Stefflon Don, ALMA, J Balvin, Willy William.
